Minecraft keeps crashing for me, no matter what I do. I reinstalled it 5 times and I reinstalled Java 6 times. Neither have helped. Now, to be more specific about the crash itself, the game would launch on 1.8.1 and the Mojang logo would appear for 6 seconds and then i would crashed and get this error message:
AL lib: (EE) alc_cleanup: 1 device not closed
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Using incremental CMS is deprecated and will likely be removed in a future release
I've read other reports on this warning message and they all say,"Oh your graphics card can't go past 1.7.2." I used to run 1.8 pefectly well on my laptop and the crashing onlly occured recently. I've done nothing strange to change my laptop or it's graphics card other than installing an intel graphics card update, which I learned later on was already on my laptop anyways. So the graphics card isn't the problem. I've been really pulling my hair out about this.

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Using incremental CMS is deprecated and will likely be removed in a future release
Oh it's hard to tell just how much i love progress. I went to another thread here where someone was getting error messages about the deprecate CMS, someone said to remove the -Xx CMSIncrament (something like that) from the JVM arguments and now I no longer get the CMS error message. Now it's only the AL lib: (EE) alc_cleanup: 1 device not closed.
I have intel 965 family express (something like that.) If that was my problem, I would never have been able to run 1.8, but I ran on 1.8 for 3 weeks before this happened. I'm fairly sure that is not my problem.

Those two lines you've provided have nothing to do with your crash.
device not closed is associated with any crash exit because the sound driver isn't shut down normally.
the CMS warning is just a warning that the options Mojang has chosen to use are being phased out of Java.
you need to provide more information, i.e. full launcher log, full game output, and if it ends up being driver related we'll need the full dxdiag.

Did I do that right?
*bump*

You didn't need to do that. Who cares *now* that incremental CMS is going away next year? The message is just a nag.
Thanks for the crash log. Now I can say that this is your problem: http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/references/intel-4-series-chipsets/
I have intel 965 family express (something like that.) If that was my problem, I would never have been able to run 1.8, but I ran on 1.8 for 3 weeks before this happened. I'm fairly sure that is not my problem.
By the by,the family intel driver isn't in the effected drivers list,
The problem is actually with the driver not the hardware. You may have been using a different driver (if you can go back to it then do so).
Or you might have switchable graphics in which case you need to get MC onto the other GPU.
You know, MC started doing this right after I downloaded Gmod from steam, does that mean anything?
I think that steam sometimes triggers video driver changes, so it could be related.
